Hard Wired Door Window Contacts
In this category, we carry some of the most commonly used window and door contacts for hardwired systems such as the Honeywell Vista Series, the DSC NEO Series, or the DSC/Qolsys IQ Pro. We offer these in two varieties that can be used for different installation types. We include the recessed contac...

Specialty Contacts Switches
This category offers specialty switches and contacts for things other than doors and windows. Overhead door contacts, tamper switches and pull apart cords to name a few. Specialty switches and contacts are for use in situations other than normal coverage of a building and items that extend capabili...

Motion Detectors Sensors
Motion detectors are sensors that detect movement in an installed area of a building. Some motion detectors are PIR (Passive infrared) only and some have a dual-lens which detects in both the PIR and Microwave ranges. There are also motion detectors that have pet immunity so your animals won't accid...

Glass Break Detectors Sensors
Glass break detectors are used to "listen" for the sound of breaking glass. These devices are great protection for windows in a home or business and add an extra tier of protection when used with perimeter contacts and motion detectors. Glass break detectors activate when they hear the sound freque...

Smoke Detectors
2-wire and 4-wire smoke detector varieties can be used with any hardwired alarm system. 2-wire smokes use just two wires for data and power and must all be chained on the same run. 4-wire smokes use separate two-wire pairs for power and zone data and can be separated into their own zones. All of th...

Heat Detectors
Heat detectors are used to detect heat instead of smoke. Heat detectors are recommended for fire protection in areas where naturally occurring smoke or fumes would cause a false alarm with a regular smoke detector. Places like kitchens or garages will benefit from using heat detectors. Heat detect...

Water, Temperature & Humidity Sensors
These devices can be used to monitor environmental conditions in your home or business. Most alarm systems can be programmed to alert you when the sensors are tripped due to flooding, freezing, or too much or too little moisture in the air. Currently, this section is limited to the wired water det...

They're also very useful for business settings where cash is involved such as a bank or money-handling business. The USP HUB2SA is a simple wired panic/holdup button that can be mounted in a...
More About Hardwired Sensors Detectors
Hardwired alarm systems offer the biggest bang for the buck, providing that you are able to get wire from point a to point b in your alarm installation.
Hardwired alarm sensors and detectors are perfect for new construction or remodels where the walls are open and it is easy to run wire. Hardwired sensors are substantially cheaper than their wireless counterparts and because the sensors do not need batteries, they are generally much smaller in size making them less obtrusive and more appealing.
Hardwired sensors and detectors are not brand specific like wireless sensors are. They are universal and work with all brands of hardwired alarm systems such as DSC, Honeywell, GE, Napco and the like.
